TDS: Is Ramien ever seen in-game? (Spoilers!)

jtr7 on 6/4/2009 at 09:17

I haven't played through the TDS's initial Old Quarter mission enough, or at different difficulty levels to know. I know I haven't seen him, yet, but looking at the mission in T3Ed, he's there, and the exact manner of his death is on gruesome display. Part of me thinks of Steve Martin's ol' arrow-through-the head sight gag. The Enforcer's sickle weapon had to be driven through his skull with such physical strength, or by magical means, for the thickest part of the weapon--the hilt of the blade--to end up exiting the other side of Ramien's head.

I saw Ramien´s blood and body. and there were enforcer´s weapon also, but no enforcer was found. Maybe he was on the roof, but I just didn´t notice it...:rolleyes:

Thanks.
I wonder if the Ramien object is deleted at the mission start on Normal difficulty, and the weapon falls to the floor, or if it's randomized.

Where is this?
I've never heard or seen of it!
perhaps I need to dig out my xbox and play again.

never liked the Enforcers. Seamed to go against alot of Thief 1 & 2 stuff and all that telepathic talking that Garrett could hear.. did i miss something? was there a Thief 2 1/2 somewhere that i missed?

Even if they don't seem to mingle well with the other games..
they were still scary as hell.
I liked them.

an old haunt still scares me more.. what the hell the TDS haunts thought they were i don't know.. i really hated all the major outfit changes and such in TDS.. Why not just improve the details or the graphics, why a complete change to something.. well, when i saw a TDS haunt, i just laughed and wondered what the hell was that... of course, i got killed doing that but oh well.. If someone in my house wanted to be really mean to me, just put some haunt chat on a disc and play it late and night and i would probebly have a heart attack!

That reminds me of the stone xombie dude Gamahl sent after you...

"Find and Kill and Crush and Kill"
I was like "No! No kill!" I climbed up a building once because they were all after me.. then they went and got a Pagan to shoot me down!

For being made of rocks, they were jerks.

Yeah, very un-Keeperlike, if you go by the first two games. So much for remaining undetected and upsetting the balance. But I suppose these points have been beaten to death.

Apparently, the best way to be stealthy and unnoticable is to kill anybody who could see you. Namely everyone.
